I happened to received a sample pack in the mail with three products from Nexxus. It included:

Nexxus Therappe Luxurious
Moisturizing Shampoo

Nexxus Humectress Ultimate Moisturizing Conditioner

Nexxus Humectress Hydrating Treatment Deep Conditioner

The Nexxus shampoo and conditioner is supposed to replenish and protect, leaving hair looking and feeling healthy. I decided to give it a try since my hair has been in dire need of moisture. After getting a few uses out of each sample, I thought I should share my opinion with you.

For reference:

I have fine, thin hair that tends to be a bit oily. However, right now it's a bit on the dry side since I've had the heat on all month.

This shampoo is supposed to restore and maintain moisture needed to leave hair feeling soft. I think it would
work well with most hair types, but especially for hair that's a bit dry. The shampoo retails for $9.99 for a 13.5 oz bottle at Ulta.

Smells great-

This shampoo reminds me of summer. It smells like suntan oil... which I obviously don't use, but I still really like the coconut scent. The scent stick around long after hair has dried.

Moisturizing-

I know this may sound obvious because Moisturizing is in the name, but not all "moisturizing" shampoos really deliver- this one will.

Cleans completely-

After I lather up my hair and rinse out the shampoo, I was left with hair that felt completely clean (without being dry). I didn't feel the need to re-wash as the first shampoo took care of all the excess oil.

This ultra hydrating conditioner has moisturizing and smoothing elements. I think it would be great for adding hydration to dry ends or for tangle control. The conditioner retails for $15.99 for a 13.5 oz bottle at Ulta.

Smells great-

The conditioner smells slightly different from the shampoo, but they're similar enough. This has a bit of a tangy scent, but still tropical.

The deep conditioning treatment is designed for weekly use. It claimed to not only leave hair hydrated, but it's also supposed to strengthen hair. Starting at the ends, I applied a small quarter sized amount to my hair and then ran the rest of the treatment over the remaining hair. I let it sit for 3-5 minutes before rinsing out. The treatment retails for $15.99 at Ulta.

Smells great-

It smells like the conditioner (see above).

Detangles-

Combing through wet my hair has never been easier.

Super silky-

It left my hair incredibly silky and soft. I wouldn't recommend using this treatment (or really any deep conditioner) before an up-do 'cause hair would be way too silky to hold.

Cuts down on fly-a-ways-

I end up with a lot of fly-a-ways due to new growth and layers in my cut, but I noticed that my hair looked much smoother after using the deep conditioner.

Bottom line:

I'd recommend all three Nexxus products.

I normally use salon brand products, but I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of each of the three Nexxus products (mentioned above). I'm going to keep them in mind as future purchase, particularly the Deep Conditioner. It was a breeze brushing through my hair; that's worth $16 to me.

My first thought, when reading Melbourne was Melbourne Florida ... but I'm gonna guess you're talkin about Australia. I'm not sure if it's sold in stores, but I'm sure you can buy it online if you're interested. Also, check out their website nexxus.com to find store locations.

I absolutely LOVE Nexxus products. I have not tried the other two products you reviewed, but do use the Nexxus Humectress Hydrating Treatment Deep Conditioner occasionally, and it does work very well. I have a huge selection of deep conditioning treatments to choose from that I rotate with, so I do not get to use this as much as I like (I know weird, but I treat all my beauty products fairly LOL) But every time I do, I do not regret it one bit.

I use Nexxus Keraphix for my conditioning needs. A little goes a long way for me. I use it only occasionally when my hair feels dry (especially after certain shampoos). I've been using it for years and I live it--it's my fave conditioner.
